    It’s not great but ‘bad car names’ is a whole genre, one that vw in particular excels at. These are the guys that brought you the “Tiguan”. Look it up, that’s not some fancy Spanish word or something, they literally just jammed the words “tiger” and “iguana” together and thought that it’d be the perfect name for their new mom-car.

      To be fair Tiguan when phonetically translated into Chinese is 踢館, which means “going to someone else’s house and kicking the shit out of them” which is kind of fire.
